A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

The information furnished under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:

Statements in this document and the attached press release contain forward-looking statements that are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained herein or therein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “outlook,” “forecast” or other similar words are used to identify such forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that the statements are not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements represent NETGEAR’s or Arlo’s expectations or beliefs concerning future events based on information available at the time such statements were made and include statements regarding the initial public offering of Arlo. These statements are based on management’s current expectations and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others, market conditions, unforeseen regulatory issues and the failure to satisfy any of the conditions to such transaction that may cause results to differ materially from the statements set forth in this press release. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based on assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecast in such forward-looking statements. Further information on potential risk factors that could affect NETGEAR or Arlo and their respective businesses are detailed in NETGEAR’s and Arlo’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Given these circumstances, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. NETGEAR and Arlo undertake no obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
